With an air of arrogance, the haughty young man next to him disdainfully muttered before striding towards Jayson in a fit of pique. He positioned himself in front of Jayson.Upon seeing someone obstructing his path, Jayson furrowed his brow. "Why are you blocking the way? Do you lack manners, or are you unable to see?"The Xia family butler turned around and observed the situation. He swiftly positioned himself in front of Jayson, preventing the haughty young man from directly facing him. "Young Master Fred, he is an esteemed guest of the third young master, please," the Xia family's butler anxiously implored with clasped fists.The arrogant young man addressed as Fred looked down at Jayson with disdain, sneering and snorting in contempt. "Brother Xia must have been deceived by this weakling. His cultivation level is barely noteworthy and he's not even worthy of being associated with your young master. He's probably from that sorcerer tribe."The Xia family butler forced a bitter smil
Before Jayson could respond, a resounding laughter filled the air, followed by a deep voice remarking, "Xia Wo's manhood is quite lacking; no wonder he's always so irritable and resorts to coercion with women. If I were a woman, I wouldn't willingly share a bed with such a poorly endowed man."Jayson was taken aback by the man's audacious comment. Turning around, he witnessed a contingent of armoured men making their way toward the jovial group, their laughter and banter abruptly interrupted."The city patrol team!" one of the men around the table shouted in alarm. Immediately, all of them scattered in different directions.Jayson briskly led Angel away from the commotion, his grip firm on her arm. As they moved out of sight, he slowed his pace to a casual stroll."Master, you haven't answered me," Angel reminded him, sounding anxious."Oh!" Jayson exclaimed, recalling Angel's question. Before he could reply, a figure leaped in front of him and Angel.Jayson's expression darkened upon
Pretending not to hear, Jayson continued walking, gradually picking up his speed until he was jogging away.In a matter of minutes, the fat, bald pawn store owner was left behind as Jayson took several turns and disappeared out of sight. Frustrated, the pawn store owner looked around in vain before returning to the store in a gloomy mood, grumbling to himself.Upon his return to the inn, Jayson was surprised to find a messenger sent by Xia One waiting for him. "Mister, my young master requests your presence at the Xia residence," the messenger said.Eyeing the messenger suspiciously, Jayson replied, "Very well, lead the way."Together, they boarded a carriage and soon arrived at Xia's residence. The Xia butler escorted Jayson to meet with Xia One."My good friend, there's been a change of plans," Xia One said urgently. "We can't afford to delay any longer. The forbidden land has been discovered by others, and if we don't act swiftly, someone else will claim everything for themselves."
The lady fixed her gaze on Xia Wo, causing him to tremble with fear. "I swear by my dao that I'm telling the truth," Xia Wo gasped, his nerves on edge."Kill them all," the lady commanded with chilling indifference, and the massacre raged on. In just three minutes, the entire Xia residence was transformed into a haunting wasteland.Blood stained the surroundings, and lifeless bodies littered every inch of the once vibrant residence. It was a horrifying scene that would haunt anyone who beheld it."Holy maiden, what are your orders? Should we pursue and capture them?" asked one of the men clad in battle armour, addressing the lady in the scarlet robe."There's no need for that. We will capture the young girl who accompanies the reincarnation body and use her as leverage. When he returns, he will surrender himself to us, and we will exchange the hostage for the time sword," the lady in scarlet replied, her expression devoid of emotion. The frigid aura surrounding her even sent shivers d
Jayson nearly tumbled off his chair, while Xia One was visibly on edge. They hadn't anticipated a confrontation with a third-grade beast before even entering the forbidden land."You can talk," Jayson exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.The three-eyed beast regarded Jayson with disdain. 'Humans may be intelligent, but this little human is quite foolish,' the beast thought to itself."I can talk, and I also intend to devour both of you," the three-eyed beast replied, then bared its teeth, revealing a formidable set of large canines, each thicker than an adult's fingers. Jayson shuddered at the sight."Aham, mighty creature, there's no need for hostility. We're simply visitors seeking treasure and mean no harm. If you'd like, you can join us on our journey to the land of riches," Jayson suggested warmly, his face beaming with a friendly smile.The three-eyed beast appeared stunned by Jayson's words, squinting its central eye before raising its massive paw as if to strike Jayson an
The masked man stood serenely in front of the impenetrable shroud of darkness. Xia One, who stood beside him, recoiled in immediate fear. The overwhelming sense of menace emanating from the masked man sent shivers down his spine.Without warning, the masked man extended his arm, and the darkness, resembling a thick blanket, began to swirl and rush toward him, as if drawn by an unseen force. Xia One's eyes widened as he witnessed the darkness being completely absorbed by the masked man.Once the absorption was complete, the masked man reverted to Jayson and crumpled to the ground, his body overcome with weakness. Xia One trembled with fear as he caught sight of the dark creatures with gleaming eyes. They had been concealed within the dark blanket but were now revealed after the thick, smoky darkness had been entirely absorbed.As Jayson struggled to his feet, Xia One quivered with apprehension, unsure of what would happen next.Jayson trembled with fear as he laid eyes on the eerie cre
Xia One felt a surge of frustration and fear as Jayson continued to stoke the flames of conflict rather than seeking peace with Mistress Hana's will."Are you tired of living?" Mistress Hana Will's furious voice pierced Xia One's thoughts, sending a shiver down his spine. He turned and hastily fled the crumbling palace.As the once-grand structure collapsed into a heap of rubble, Xia One, having distanced himself, remained unscathed. Attempting to employ his divine sense proved futile within the forbidden land's confines.Advancing toward the debris, he stood atop the mound, straining to detect any sign of Jayson emerging. Minutes passed, but there was no sight of him."Who are you searching for?" a familiar voice inquired. Xia One glanced up to find Jayson standing several meters away from the wreckage.Racing toward Jayson, relief washed over Xia One "I thought something happened to you."Jayson, too lazy to recount his encounter with Mistress Hana's will, simply gestured towards th
The realm guardian rose swiftly from the spot where he had been flung and clashed once more with the masked man. A deafening boom resounded through the air, shaking the ground beneath their feet. "The realm guardian is no match for the masked man. We have to leave now; he's too dangerous," Xia One said, his voice quivering with fear. Unhappily, Jayson replied, "Do you think I haven't tried to escape? I did, but there's no way out. We came here to find treasure, but all we've found is danger." Another explosion grabbed their attention. They turned to see the masked man hovering in the air, unleashing a series of devastating strikes. Suddenly, streaks of lightning tore across the sky, converging to form a swirling vortex of energy that crackled with power before hurtling toward the masked man. The masked man lashed out with the blood-sword in hand, sending torrents of lightning crackling in every direction. Jayson scrambled across the ground, narrowly evading a bolt of lightning th
